If you go to a fancy resturant all dressed up and kilted smart, the guy next to you might think "Wow this guy is wearing a costume in this fancy place, I sure would like to go out dressed up without some *#&$%@ wearing a costume."
I'd agree that many see the kilt as costume I don't think anyone would consider it casual, quite the opposite in fact. It is only since joining here that I've seen a kilt as a viable option in a casual environment. Having said that, the most formal event that I've worn a kilt is a couple of Burn's nights at a Masonic temple. Most other nights it would be at a pub and although dressed casualy in a kilt I've tended to be on the dressy side of casual it just somehow seems right.
